Pre-medical student volunteers needed in the division of gynecologic oncology at Columbia University.
What you will do for us:
1. Volunteers must be able to commit to 15 hours per week for a minimum of 6 months. Most of the time will be spent on retrospective chart reviews, but a few hours may be spent assisting the clinical research manager in general research activities and/or specimen collection and processing.
2. Volunteers will be working directly with one of our PIs, who is very well known and respected in the field, and supervised by one of the residents and the clinical research manager (both whom are around just to answer your questions, etc).
What we will do for you:
1. Put your name on all papers that come from the data you collect.
2. Write you a stellar letter of rec (if you've earned it). We've had several volunteers come through our office, and each has gotten into one of their top choices for med school.
3. Give you many opportunities to shadow in the OR, the lab, clinic hours, on the labor/delivery floor, or any other part of OB/Gyn you are interested in.
4. If resources permit, we may be able to give you the opportunity to pursue research projects that are interesting to you.
5. Give you access to the library (handy if you're studying for the MCAT!)
Please note per University policy you may have to have your titers drawn and a PPD read, and you will definitely have to have a urine drug screen (all of which will be paid for by us). You should live in the NY area so it's not a burden to work with us.
If interested, please PM me and I'll send you more contact info.
